Three enemies that will weaken your ministry over time: Self-indulgence, bitterness, and carelessness. Strong people discipline their desires, restrain their reactions, and keep their commitments.

More quotes by Rick Warren
If you talked to others the way you talk to yourself, would you have any friends?
Rick Warren
We're going to serve in eternity. We're not going to sit around on clouds you know this whole idea of heaven is wearing white robes with angels and play a harp. To me, that would be hell. I can't think of anything more boring.
Rick Warren
Blessed are the uncool for they shall be happy without needing the approval of others.
Rick Warren
Unkind people need your kindness the most. They advertise their pain.
Rick Warren
God is far more interested in what you are than who you are.
Rick Warren
Transformation is a process, and as life happens there are tons of ups and downs. It's a journey of discovery - there are moments on mountaintops and moments in deep valleys of despair.
Rick Warren
Where the grass is greener, the water bill is bigger.
Rick Warren
Faith is facing reality without being discouraged by it.
Rick Warren
The Bible says that governments can do things that I'm not supposed to do as an individual. God has not put the law in my hands. He's put the law in the government's hands.
Rick Warren
Time is your most precious gift, because you only have a set amount of it.
Rick Warren
If you try to serve people, it impresses them. If you try to impress people it irritates them.
Rick Warren
There is an entire generation who was too young to read 'The Purpose Driven Life' 10 years ago but are now asking the critical question, 'What on earth am I here for?'
Rick Warren
You can't make a life without making mistakes. Relax and learn something
Rick Warren
Emphasize reconciliation, not resolution. It is unrealistic to expect everyone to agree about everything. Reconciliation focuses on the relationship, while resolution focuses on the problem. When we focus on reconciliation, the problem loses significance and often becomes irrelevant.
Rick Warren
I do believe in what I call the stewardship of influence as well as the stewardship of affluence. And that is you use whatever God gives you not for your own benefit, but use it to help people who have no benefit. And when you use whatever God gives you, he gives you more of it. When you use it well, he gives you more of it.
Rick Warren
Without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose, life has no meaning. Without meaning, life has no significance or hope.
Rick Warren
You measure a church's strength, not by its seating capacity but by its sending capacity.
Rick Warren
AIDS is the leprosy of the 21st Century. Where did Jesus hang out? With lepers. Jesus would love on people with AIDS.
Rick Warren
I don't believe my interpretation's inerrant. I don't believe anybody else's interpretation is inerrant, but I do believe the scripture is inerrant. I believe in the plenary, verbal plenary inspiration of scripture, without a doubt.
Rick Warren
Temptation always starts in your mind, not in circumstances.
Rick Warren
